Free speech
Speaking, exchanging, bearing witness is the first way to serenity.
No longer be ashamed, no longer feel alone and misunderstood, break taboos and reverse the trend by freeing yourself from this weight ... This is what we offer you to do by sharing your stories too.

After suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. That day was for me a victory and a revenge on life. If I was able to defeat the knockouts, you too can.

How to live on a daily basis with severe and resistant OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)? This mental prison is considered by many to be benign. It is not so. This testimony tells you about the obstacle course that a patient and her family suffering from this disease must lead. In recent years, enormous progress has been made thanks to the great determination of the medical profession. The author invites all people and their loved ones to discover the trials and adventures that are sometimes more than unusual linked to OCD, which can make you either laugh or cry.

My name is Audrey Gonet, I live in Reims and I will be 40 years old in November 2021. I have had OCD since I was around 10 years old. I was followed for a long time by psychiatrists in Reims but no one has ever put a name on my illness. At the dawn of my 30s
years ago, I decided to get in touch with leading specialists on
OCD in Paris, because I no longer have a life, I hardly ever leave my home and I am wasting away. I then start Therapy
Compormental and cognitive (CBT) in Vincennes and for 5 years, I take heavy drug treatments. I am making some progress but the disease is too ingrained in me, I no longer have OCD but ROCS (Disorders Obsessive, Compulsive, Resistant). I have been on sick leave for almost 2 years (I am decorator in a large DIY store) and I take the opportunity to write a book on my illness (“Mum, my room is badly tidy… the hell of OCD” Edilivre editions in 2017). I am then offered to participate in a
research protocol: a DBS (Deep Cerebral Stimulation) and I accept because for me it is: either this brain operation, or I stop living. So I was operated on in April 2017 and now I live with two electrodes implanted in my brain and an electrostimulator in the abdomen. My life is changing. This operation is far from magic because I continue the CBT, the drugs and the efforts on a daily basis but now I live ...

This video traces my life journey as a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders more commonly known as "Knocks". She is above all to support the suffering people who very often find it difficult to put words and words on their disease but especially to try to explain with simple words that everyone can hear ... She is all too often difficult to perceive and understand for "average" people. The view of society towards mental illness can change if we put words and images on each suffering.
